Before you render in Malabar
What changes a rendering job here, each from the council plan, heritage register or data sheet it comes from.
Coast
Ocean air and washing
Most of Malabar is within 1 km of breaking surf. Rockcote asks for its render systems to be washed down every 12 months, and painted or textured finishes near the coast more often. For polystyrene cladding here, Unitex specifies Class 4 or 316 stainless steel fixing screws.

Coast
Foreshore scenic protection
A small part of Malabar near the coast is in Randwick's Foreshore Scenic Protection Area, where finishes must withstand coastal weathering.

Reviews
What our clients say
Courteous, tidy, protected the area from debris, cleaned up after and a good job
“Very professional and so helpful! Good communication and a fair price! Arrived nice and early! The rendering was done very well and looks great. The boys were very careful and made no mess! I have no hesitation in recommending Ali and his workers! I am definitely a very happy customer! Job: rear of house rendering plus a variety of rendering repairs in various places! Thank you so much!”
★★★★★Gregory Williams · “We loved dealing with Ali and his team. They are all lovely and really good renderers. We wanted something a little different (a thickly applied splattered style) in some parts of the house,”bagged” in other areas and smooth render in other parts…all was no problem, and expertly done. All fairly priced too. We would definitely recommend Finishing Touch Rendering. Stephanie and David.”
